And the rest loved the ending (the ending was messed up for sure). Of all the reviews I read the vast majority who loved it were freaked out by the concept and somehow thought the movie should be rated highly because of the exposure it gives to issue of human smuggling. Maybe it's one of those movies where the concept is what's scary. So, if the kidnappers are unlikable and the kidnappees are unlikable, who do you root for? What's the point? Most of the movie is just watching some kidnappers driving around town making more mistakes than they could ever actually get away with, and watching the kidnapees making so many dumb decisions that you actually end of feeling like they're getting what they deserve. Shuttle is actually a frustrating action movie that offers no rhyme or reason until the last 15 minutes. Kucera died that same year in a car crash aged 20.Shuttle is supposed to be a horror movie about human smuggling. Brian Anderson pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced to 55 years in prison, the Chicago Tribune reported in 1995. Only Mine is very loosely inspired by the true story of Laura Kucera, a 19-year-old woman who was left for dead after being shot by an ex-boyfriend in 1994. Small-town dynamics mean she ends up further isolated: David is good at charming the locals, and they more readily trust him than her. David’s status as a police officer, obviously, makes it harder for her to report the abuse, and nearly impossible for her to call for help. The film also succeeds in casting an increasingly claustrophobic atmosphere on Julie’s plight: David’s father was also a cop in the local force, and was a friend of David’s chief. It’s not the most sophisticated definition of coercion and control ever to be uttered, but it works.

David doesn’t get to answer that question, but it’s in the film’s title: the young officer, clearly, wants Julie to be his, and only his. “I always want to be able to find you,” he tells her. The first notable incident takes place when David tries to call Julie, only for her not to pick up her phone. He’s possessive of her, and needlessly suspicious of her male co-worker. David’s abuse of Julie builds up relatively slowly (the film has a total running time of an hour and 27 minutes, so it does move at a brisk pace).
